It’s the most wonderful time of the year! October-December are truly magical and I patiently (unpatiently) wait all year for this season to get here! Thankfully it’s finally cool outside! Caroline is 15 months old and just getting to the age of going out and doing fun things so I have lots on things on the family calendar! Can’t wait for Caleb to get a little older to experience fall fun next year…all in good time I guess.
So what’s on our fall bucket list?
Pumpkin patch
I mean this one’s a given, but I can’t wait to pick out our pumpkins!
Backyard movie night
This will be the first time we do this and I’m so excited! We have the perfect backyard setup for a big blowup movie screen and smores over outdoor fireplace. We’re having a few friends over and we’ll have a bunch of blankets and pillows and chairs on the lawn to watch the big screen. Lots of lanterns and candles too. Not sure what movie we’re going to play yet, but definitely a scary one!
3. Get back to working out!
I recently signed up for a gym membership and I’ve been longing to get back to regularly working out! Once wedding season winds down, I plan on being back!
Mama and Caroline date!
I bought tickets to Disney on Ice and yeah, she may be a bit young for something like this, but tickets were cheap so if we only make it half way, that’s ok with me!
Girl’s nights!
making new mom friends! Terrifying but so needed in my life! So definitely getting so girl’s nights on the books! Hooray!
Halloween costume contest!
This Saturday is Caroline’s Preschool’s Fall Festival and they are doing costume contests! Since Chris’ beard is long and “beast”-ly (insert eye roll emoji here) Caroline and him are going as Beauty and the Beast! Hilarious. I’ll be sure to post pics on Instagram stories!
Carter Mountain
This one’s a given. It’s our favorite Charlottesville spot. The best apple cider donuts and beautiful views.
Trick or Treating
Another given! Can’t wait to dress Caroline up and go the the neighbor’s houses.
Bake a pie.
Like an actual pie. From a recipe. Yikes.
10. Continuing making our house a home
If you follow me on IG stories you’ll know I’ve been behind on decorating our home that we’ve lived in for a full year. I’ve been slowly doing things here and there, but have lots on this list this Fall. Slowly but surely it will come together.
Happy fall y’all!
Warmly,
Michelle
